Approach

We are HMC

While many shy away from complexity, we run toward it.

And our collective goal is to turn complexity into simplicity.

It’s not a magic act or a quick fix. It’s a journey. And our best and most satisfying work reflects this approach. We begin and end with identifying human truths. To get there, we challenge assumptions. And we challenge each other to uncover the motivations that drive us all to think, act, believe and follow.

This clarity is revealed through strategy. And translated into multi-platform solutions that aim for the heart, spur perception change and ignite behavior change. Our sweet spot is complex and constantly evolving issues with multiple audiences—internally and externally. Whether it’s energy, health care and tourism, or higher education, politics and public safety.

Work

TO US, OUR WORK MEANS TWO THINGS. Our work is the end product of what we produce. It is the thing we make with our heads, hearts and hands. And when we release this work out into the world, we trust that it will perform exactly as we had planned. It will disrupt. It will connect. And ultimately, it will engage. Most of the time, things go as planned.

The other definition of the word “work” is the effort that we put forth during the development, refinement, struggle and debate that is absolutely necessary to produce the kind of end product we are proud of. We work on the work. It’s not that complicated. Or hard to understand. But it is what fuels our efforts. It is what keeps us up at night and entices us to try another angle. Another idea.

Check out of a few examples of the work we’re proud to have worked on.

Leadership

It’s been said that a good leader is someone who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way. Our leadership team sets the course, sets the bar high and then lets the team loose to knock the socks off our clients. Seriously, socks have actually come off. We could make it more complicated than that. But isn’t life complicated enough already?
